NEO Soil Plant 8 l is a substrate for hobbyists setting up or refreshing a planted aquarium who want the bottom layer to support plant growth and water chemistry from the start. It combines a water-stabilising function with a soil base, so it can take the place of a separate soil layer and a separate buffering product.
Why it matters
- Water parameters: the granules are designed to hold pH, KH and GH at suitable levels for planted tanks.
- Granule structure: each granule contains different soil types inside and is coated with fired clay, which keeps it from breaking down under the weight of the substrate and water pressure in larger tanks.
- Early stability: the soil is reported to produce stable water quality within 7 days of flooding, and its lighter granules add to the filtration effect.
- Bacteria and clarity: nitrifying bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic, are present in the granules and activated on contact with water, and an adsorptive action is intended to keep the water clear.

What it works with
The substrate is intended for planted freshwater aquariums, where it serves as the rooting medium for plants, including freshly planted in vitro specimens that are not yet adapted to full submersion. Its listed fine-scale features, such as the lightweight granules and bacteria-supporting surface, are presented as relevant to shrimp and fish tanks that rely on biological balance.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the substrate is designed to lower pH and water hardness, and it also helps keep pH, KH and GH at levels suited to a planted aquarium. The manufacturer does not give specific target values, so check your water parameters before and after setup.
According to the manufacturer, the soil creates stable water quality within 7 days of flooding the aquarium. Its granules also contain bacteria that activate once they contact water, which helps the tank mature faster.
Yes, the bacteria are already present in the soil and become active when it gets wet. They convert harmful substances that could affect shrimp and fish, and the granules also contain nutrients for nitrifying bacteria, aerobic and anaerobic.
The substrate has an adsorptive effect, which the manufacturer says gives better water clarity than many other substrates. Its granules are coated with baked clay, which keeps them from breaking down under the pressure of a large tank.
The manufacturer states that the soil supports plant growth and strengthens plant condition. It also says it increases the survival rate of freshly planted in vitro plants, which are usually not yet adapted to full submersion.
